grain from which our buckwheat cakes
are made. Daniel Webster. the great

'-slapjacks." derived their name buck
wheat from beechn ut because of its

SAVED BY A SONG.

What . knowing Little Bullnneh Did for
His Mistress Who Had Been Kind to
Him.
In a PARKWAY Tyrolese valley lived
little Elsa. in log chalet, alone with
her old grandfather FrOwning prec:-
pices encircled the narrow strip of mead
ow that boriered the rushing stream
flowing from the giants of snow and
rock towering into the sky all around.
But old Franz was getting Old. and
Elsa had to help him to till the little
plots of Indian corn and millet round
the chalet, and when the sheaves were
ripe. to hang them up to dry upon
wooden slaves with branching arms.
which made the fields look rs il
peopled with scarecrOws. she had to
drive the cows to the upland pastures.
and to make the cheeses which, every
week. old Franz carried in basket ON
his back down the valley. to sell at the
nearest village. But when her work
was over. she would have been very
dull in the evenings. while her grand
sather sat and dozed in his armchair.
but for the companionship Of her pc;
bullfinch. with his glossy head and
back, and his bricS-dust-colored waist
coat.
The grandfather had brought him
bach as present to Elsa when he was
quite young bird. and the latter 5
kindness soon tanned him so that he
would eat out of her band. Then
his education began; ana on long win
ter evenings. when the wind roarcd
through the forest and the river ragged
past the hut. old Franz would pull out
his clarionet. and by the light of the
wood fire teach Bullie to pipe.
After much time and patience had
been expended on him. one day, to his
little mistress delight. he whistled
through the Austrian National Hymn:
God save Franz the Emperor" with
out a mistake.
Elsa was never duh now. for there
was always some new tune to be taught
Bullie. and she and the bird became
inseparable. And thus. when one
Sunday morning. early. she and her
grandfather. both Of them dressed in
their best. started over the mountain to
the feast at Inst, she tied up Ballie' $
cage in . handkerchief and took him
with her.
The streets of Inst were crowded
with peasants in holiday dress pro-
ceeding to the outdoor stage. where
was performed the annual religious
play. The roof was the blue sky, the
background tie snow peaks; and Els a
sat and listened. open-mouthed. to the
quaint mixture of Old Testament story
and ancient legend.
Dinner followed at Frau Luia's, .
cousins; after which Bullie hoped
out of the cage and went through lis
performances. His shill notes rang

peddlar came, and taking him on his
finger. listened critically. Melchoir

remedies recommended for sea-sick-
ness. such as bromide of sodium. CO.

unsatisfactory results. The following
method, based on the treatment Of
